A Test of the Effectiveness of a One-Term Freshman Orientation Program at the Foreign Campus of an Accredited Private American University.

Koutsoubakis, Dimitri

Journal of the First-Year Experience & Students in Transition, v11 n2 p33-58 1999

This longitudinal study compares academic and social integration and intent to persist of two cohorts of freshmen (total n=132) at the American InterContinental University (England), of whom 70 successfully completed a one-term freshman orientation course and 62 did not take the course. Preliminary results suggest that the course promotes increased levels of integration and intent to persist. (DB)
